Stormy Weekend

[Conveyor Belt]

Just thought I'd go ahead and start this thread...

Looks like some stormy weather this afternoon, tonight and tomorrow morning.

I gotta hurry and get my yard done this morning.

[Honey]

I hope it is over before Prom tomorrow night. Daughter has a beautiful dress.

I shoulda' went fishin' this mornin' dangit.

[fuzzis]

I hope it doesn't rain for the Race for the Cure in the morning. *sigh* The shirt is white. Perhaps that presents even more reason for men to participate. :smt118

Sounds like the Race for the Cure has the potential to become a Wet T-Shirt Contest. :smt105

Unfortunately, yes. It goes on rain or shine (although I've never participated in one when it's rained...the threat of rain doesn't really happen in Nevada).

[Mr.Poorman]

Good Post. Happy Birthday Damnyank! Thanks for the update.

[Mr.Poorman]

Two more weeks and fishin should be primo, lunar table! Good Idea though.

[amanda]

My oldest is going to Keisler for a Boy Scout Camporee. Does it look like it's going to be that far south? Nothing like camping in storms.

[opheliapo]

Awww Honey, I hope the weather is clear for Prom, my son went to a Winter Formal out here in AZ last year and it was one of the few stormy nights. They ended up coming home early because everyone was miserable and damp and cold. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

[OLDLADY]

I just got a notice from my wdam bug that Forrest county and others are on tornado watch.......

[Kitty]

Lamar and Marion are both under a tornado watch, too.

[SoMissTV]

HHDA's Live after Five has been canceled.

[Kitty]

WJTV has received reports of storm damage in the Vicksburg/Warren County area.

There are several tornado warnings in central Mississippi to the west and north of the Jackson metro area.

[Fish-Bait]

The radar looks practicaly the same around jackson as it did this morning....

[fuzzis]

Sounds like tonight will be an excellent night to be snuggled up with someone cute. :clap:

[Fish-Bait]

A twister hit downtown Vicksburg and caused major damage today. Man......it may get bad people....Vicksburg has/had a VERY nice downtown area.

[g8rfan]

[g8rfan]

Ok, not too close... Thanks FB

[luvnlife]

I see on the hour by hour, they moved severe thunderstorm from 6 up to 3!

[proudtobefrompetal]

I've checked weather.com and accu-weather.com, both have different forecasts. We have ball tonight so I'm hoping it's just very cloudy.

[amanda]

And of course, BB is driving home from Lafayette right now. Hopefully he can stay in the clear part of things until he get's home. :( Not looking very promising for son's camping trip at Keisler though.

[Fish-Bait]

TWISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fish-Bait]

I hope everyone in Vicks is ok. The place had a seriously nice downtown area. I have been wanting to go back and throw down some suds and check out the hot chics.

[Kitty]

According to the Clarion-Ledger, there have been reports of several possible tornadoes in the metro Jackson area (http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080404/NEWS/80404013).

This is in addition to the damage reported in Vicksburg.

[g8rfan]

[MMA]

Just came through Madison, homes damaged, power out, tree down. According to the weather guys up here you in Hburg and Petal will get it sometimes this afternoon or tonight. Hail the size of marbles at my house in Madison city limits. Good luck.

[ComputerDude]

Tornado near Vicksburg according to cnn.com

[luvnlife]

again?

[Kitty]

again?

I don't think so. Likely CNN has just picked up the story.

That particular storm cell has moved on to the east.

[ComputerDude]

again?No sorry, didn't read up all the way.

[damnyank]

Just got off the phone with our youngest daughter - she lives outside of Brandon (in the reservoir north area) - they had terrible winds and heavy rain - 3 tornados alleged in the area but the only damage they have was a bunch of tree limbs down. Her husband works for Bell South (err AT&T) in Pearl as an ET, but he doesn't go into work until 4 PM and hasn't been called in early, so damage must not be too heavy.

Hope everyone stays safe up there!

[Kitty]

The sunshine has been replaced with clouds at our house, with a few rain sprinkles.

I can handle rain.

It's the lightning and heavy wind that usually send me running for cover. :ohnoes:

[Fish-Bait]

Imma' fly a kite!

[rileysmom]

Imma' fly a kite!

If I see you flying over Petal, I'll wave at ya!! :smt006

Wow and here I was worried about my family in LA being under a tornado watch, and it turns out one touches down in Vicksburg where all my in-laws are. I guess I need to worry about all places at once

[Kitty]

The sun is out again.

Crazy weather!

My significant other called and said that a Toyota dealership in Jackson was destroyed. I called Mom in Newton and she said winds at 2pm were about 80 miles an hour. A tornado about 17 years ago dumped a large tree on Mom's bedroom right after she went to work. She was interviewed on Meridian television station and all she said was "Thank God, all my dolls are o.k."
That's my Mom for ya.

[mac]

My husband was leaving Wiggins about 45 minutes ago. He said it was the hardest rain he's ever driven in.

[Kitty]

The Clarion-Ledger has posted some photos (http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Site=D0&Date=20080404&Category=NEWS0110&ArtNo=804040803&Ref=PH&Params=Itemnr=1) of the storm damage in the metro Jackson area.

No photos of damage at a Toyota dealership, but there are photos of damage at Watson Ford, where 80-100 vehicles had the windows blown out.

[Southern_Belle]

Did it storm bad in Hatt/Petal last night? I fell asleep probably before 10 last night and didn't wake up until 10 this morning, except for one bathroom run at 3 a.m. I didn't notice any thunder or lightning when I was up.

[Chichiguita]

I heard one big blast that woke me up, but after that it was pretty quiet.

[Conveyor Belt]

We missed a good portion of it. At one point, before we went to bed at 2am, there was a circle about 40 miles wide of clear weather with Hattiesburg being in the center.

We got missed. again.
